Blog Info

I love Castles, History and Archaeology, If I could have my time again I would train to be a Archaeologist!
I am a keen artist and traveller, I seek adventure however I am also disabled and a dog owner.
So I thought it would be a neat idea to have a blog that I could share some photos of my castle hunting adventures and basic info on these sites from a disabled, dog owning artist!

Cadw Offers Disabled people and there companion Free access to there sites, If you have any problems, attitude or access on this generous offer make sure you contact Cadw so they can improve.

I have only provided basic info as there are enough sites on the net to give you this information.

This Castle Wales Site is brilliant, I have used it time and time again, even writing to the makers to compliment them

Sherborne Old Castle

Small paid car park by the castle, which is free for members and blue badge holders
From the car park there is a approximate 50 yard walk to the ticket office which is a slight slope upwards and
another 50 yard walk into the castle grounds
There is plenty of places to sit and sketch, this is not the most impressive site but worth a visit none the less
Toilets is a small portable  cubicle at the back of the ticket office
This is a staffed site and the custodian was extremely helpful and friendly.
No Dogs allowed - except guide dogs (Shame really as I can't see a reason for this)
